Re: [Gimp-user] Help with creating banner

[Tim Jedlicka]

Try Image->Scale. Click the little chain link so the vertical and horizontal dimensions are not linked. If your image looks strange after scaling, then you can try stretching just the edges with the Shear tool. Might want to first change the canvas size (Image->Canvas), then Layer-to-ImageSize, then select part of the edge of the image and shear it to fill in the white space.

I'm attempting to create a 468x60 banner for a website I'm designing.
I'm attempting to use GIMP to do the graphics, however I am new to
GIMP and don't understand fully the concepts.  I have an image that I
am trying to use that would compose the background of the banner
basically.  My current problem is in attempting to stretch/elogate the
image to meet the 468x60 dimensions.  Can someone please direct me on
how I can do this or what tool would be most appropriate.  My 1st
layer is the blank 468x60 background, my 2nd layer is the image..I
just can't seem to stretch it the way it needs to be stretched.

Any & all assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
